The global commercial vehicle (Comm Cars) market is undergoing a historic paradigm shift. As nations commit to carbon neutrality, the industrial focus has pivoted from traditional internal combustion engines to New Energy Vehicles (NEVs). Today, leading manufacturers are not just building transport tools; they are creating intelligent nodes within a global digital logistics ecosystem.
Global enterprises now demand more than just "horsepower." The modern procurement criteria emphasize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), long-term reliability, and technological integration. From the bustling ports of Rotterdam to the mining routes of Chile and the last-mile delivery streets of Southeast Asia, commercial cars must be localized to withstand extreme climates and diverse regulatory standards.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. as one of the national large scale enterprises, is an auto limited company built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation.
It covers an area of 2.13 million square meters and has developed the commercial vehicle brand “Dongfeng Chenglong” and the passenger vehicle brand “Dongfeng Forthing” with over 7,000 employees currently.
Its marketing and service network is through out the whole country. A large number of products have been exported to more than 170 countries in Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa and Europe. By the chances of our overseas marketing developing, we’re warmly welcome our potential partners from all over the world to visit us.
DFLZM is located in Liuzhou: the largest industrial base in Guangxi and a cornerstone of Chinese automotive manufacturing. It is uniquely the only city in China hosting vehicle production bases for the four major automobile groups.
🔹 CV Base: Covers 2.128 million square meters; producing 100k medium/heavy trucks annually.
🔹 PV Base: Covers 1.308 million square meters; producing 400k vehicles and 100k engines annually.

Be capable of carrying out the whole process design and development of 4 A-level project modeling simultaneously, ensuring aesthetic and aerodynamic excellence.
7 specialized world-class laboratories; our vehicle test capability coverage reaches 86.75%, ensuring performance in extreme global environments.
Operating 5 national and provincial R&D platforms, holding hundreds of invention patents and leading the formulation of national automotive standards.
Highly automated stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly lines. Digital control systems make production transparent, visualized, and efficient.
Advanced SKD and CKD packaging and execution. We design multi-model packaging solutions to help international partners establish local assembly plants.
From factory planning and transformation to assembly guidance and full-process follow-up services, our KD project team ensures local success.
As a leading China commercial car factory, we understand that "one size does not fit all." Global procurement managers seek partners who can provide localized adaptations. Our vehicles are engineered to meet stringent European safety standards, South American high-altitude performance, and Middle Eastern heat-resistance requirements.
Localization Scenarios:
China is currently the global epicenter for EV battery supply chains and automotive tech innovation. By partnering with Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, global clients gain access to cutting-edge technology at a price point that optimizes ROI, backed by decades of "National Enterprise" reliability.

“Stability lies in consolidating the foundation, while progress lies in creating excellence and innovation.” — Strategic Corporate Philosophy
In the competitive realm of global commercial vehicle manufacturing, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. (DFLZM) stands as a beacon of engineering prowess and reliability. As the transportation industry pivots toward sustainable energy, our role as a primary China leading Comm Cars manufacturer and supplier has evolved to encompass the entire lifecycle of green logistics. Our commitment to the E-E-A-T principles is reflected in every truck that leaves our Liuzhou assembly lines.
With decades of heritage as a national large-scale enterprise, our expertise is built upon billions of kilometers of road-tested data. Our brands—Chenglong and Forthing—are synonymous with durability in the most challenging terrains. From the high-speed logistics routes in Europe where the H7 Electric Truck sets new efficiency benchmarks, to the passenger sectors where the M5 Electric MPV redefines luxury urban travel, our professional engineering team ensures each model is optimized for its specific duty cycle.
Operating out of the heart of China's automotive industrial hub, Liuzhou, DFLZM possesses a manufacturing ecosystem that is second to none. Our annual production capacity of 100,000 commercial vehicles and 400,000 passenger vehicles is supported by advanced digital control systems and automated robotics. This authority is recognized globally, as evidenced by our reach into 170+ countries. Our presence in international markets isn't just about sales; it’s about providing comprehensive SKD and CKD solutions that empower local economies to build their own industrial foundations using our proven technology.
Reliability is the currency of the commercial world. A truck that isn't running is a loss for the business. That is why our "Guanghe Future" plan isn't just a marketing slogan—it’s a promise of service excellence. We have built a robust global supply chain that ensures parts availability and technical support regardless of where our vehicles operate. Our 7 specialized laboratories test every component for structural integrity, battery longevity, and environmental resistance, ensuring that whether it’s a 6X4 H5 Dump Truck on a construction site or a T5 HEV Hybrid SUV on a city street, the vehicle performs with unwavering consistency.
The industry trend is clear: software is becoming as important as hardware. Our latest models feature intelligent driver support technologies that reduce driver fatigue and optimize fuel/energy consumption through AI algorithms. This digital integration allows fleet managers to monitor their assets in real-time, predicting maintenance needs before they become costly repairs. As a China Comm Cars supplier, we are at the forefront of this digital revolution, integrating 5G connectivity and autonomous driving features into our next-generation fleet.
We take pride in how our vehicles solve local problems. In Europe, our Forthing Friday EV meets the strict Euro-NCAP safety ratings while providing the range needed for cross-border travel. In Southeast Asia, our light trucks like the M3 Cargo Truck offer the agility needed for narrow urban grids. In Africa and South America, our heavy-duty tractor trucks like the HK series provide the torque and durability required for unpaved roads and heavy loads. This localized focus, combined with our factory-direct pricing and engineering support, makes DFLZM the preferred partner for global automotive procurement.
